    He collapsed after two rounds and was pronounced dead when he was taken to a private clinic nearby. Read more at webindia site.

  • Yarsagumba: The Himalayan Viagra


    yarsa1Yarsagumba or Yarchagumbu is an exceptional and incredible herb that grows in the pastures above 3,300 meters upto 4000 meters in the Himalayan regions of Nepal, Bhutan, India and Tibet. Yarsagumba literally means summer plant and winter insect (dong cong xia cao) in Tibetan. In India it is usually known as ‘Kira Jhar’ which means Insect Plant . Scientific name of this herb is Cordyceps Sinensis.

    yarsagumbaYarsa gumba is a exceptional combination of a yellow caterpillar and a mushroom (fungus). Just earlier to the rainy season, spores of cordyceps fungus infect these Himalayan caterpillars that live on moist grass and hollow soil. After the fungus buries itself in the caterpillar’s body, it works its way out through the insect’s head. The parasite gets the energy from the caterpillar. The fungus parasite gets so much into the body of the caterpillars’ that it drains all the energy from the insect and ultimately it dies. As temperature increases and the snow melts -yarsa gumba emerges and is collected at this time. During monsoon, the yarsa gumba is swept away.

  • Another Father of 67 kids and looking for 9th wife


    I don’t know why people are competing to have more children. Last time I wrote about the dad Daad with 78 children and aiming to cross a century by 2015. I don’t know about the aim of Abu Arrar, 58, from Israel who has 67 children from 8 wives. He sure must be aiming high as he is already looking for the 9th wife.

    Abu Arrar, whose oldest child is 37, was photographed by the newspaper in a long Bedouin robe and head cover, surrounded by a dozen of so of his kids.

  • Orangutan and blondes


    orangutanWhat a taste for an orangutan: Blondes and tattoos!

    A sexually confused orang-utan in the Netherlands is frustrating his keepers by refusing to mate with female orang-utans – because he is only sexually interested in blonde, tattooed humans.(metro)

    Sibu the Orangutan only chases or ignores his female friends and likes blonde human female instead. It is told that Sibu’s tattoos preference harks back to a heavily tattooed keeper who reared him. (Photo is not of Sibu and is only used for illustration purpose)

  • Hugging banned in school


    Hugging bearsDon’t you think hugging is a personal right? But officials at Percy Julian Middle School in Chicago don’t think so. They might have their reasons but I won’t be surprised if hugging is banned from airports (that is where you see people hugging a lot) too.

    Principal Victoria Sharts banned hugging among the suburban school’s 860 students anywhere inside the building.

    She said students were forming ‘hug lines’ that made them late for classes and crowded the hallways. Exactly what a ‘hug line’ is remains a little unclear. (metro )

    They think some hugs could be too long and too close!

  • Skipping stones made record


    Russ Byars shows off one of his many stone-skipping trophiesAs a child I used to skip stones on a nearby pond but never thought such a thing can be a sport and one can break records. But after seeing the video (posted below) I have to admit it sure is incredible.

    A Pennsylvania man cast a stone that skipped on water a whopping 51 times, shattering the old world record of 40.

    Russell “Rock Bottom” Byars’ feat happened July 19, where the Allegheny River meets French Creek in Franklin, about 70 miles north of Pittsburgh. He estimated his stone traveled about 250 feet.

    Before declaring him a record-holder, Guinness World Records experts analyzed film of Byars’ toss, checking the concentric circles in the water by each skip.

    “I actually threw 40 stones that day, but that was the first skip that I threw,” Byars told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, which confirmed the record with Guinness officials.

    The previous record held by Kurt Steiner, 42, of Emporium was set in 2002.(cbs news)

    Here is the video of the event:
